Parent/Teacher
Conferences
Parent/teacher conferences are
an important and valuable part of pupil reporting
procedures in our school. At least one
Parent/teacher conference is scheduled for each
child in grades kindergarten through four
yearly.
The value of a parent/teacher
conference comes from a frank and honest exchange
of information which can help both parties have a
better understanding of the child, his/her
abilities, and needs. To help realize this value,
we offer the following suggestions for
conferencing:
- Please plan to keep the
conference schedule.
- If you are unable to keep
your appointment, kindly notify the school as
soon as possible. Another appointment will be
arranged.
- If at all possible, please
make arrangements to come to the conference
without the child or other children.
- Before attending the
conference, you may find it helpful to make a
list of things you wish to discuss with the
teacher.
School Time
Schedule
Some parents prefer to pick up
their children at dismissal time which is 2:25 p.m.
Children to be picked up are sent to the art room
when their class is escorted to the bus circle.
Parents, relatives, or other adults are required to
sign the child out at the art room. This policy is
to be followed each time a pick-up is made.
Students who are not picked up by the time the
buses leave the circle will be escorted to the main
office to wait for a parent. Those picking up
children are encouraged to be prompt as youngsters
find waiting stressful when all other children and
parents have left.
Late Entry / Early
Departure Procedures
Students are expected to be on
time for the start of classes at 8:10 a.m. Walkers
and students driven to school should not arrive
prior to 7:40 a.m. If it becomes necessary to bring
your child into the building following the start of
the school day, you must accompany your child into
the nurse's office with a note to sign the child
into school for that day.
Should it become necessary to
pick-up your child early from school, please send a
note with your child on the morning of the day
he/she is to be dismissed. The note should give the
child's name and the reason for the early
departure. The note will be sent to the office and
recorded. When you arrive to pick-up your child,
please come to the office. He/She will be called to
the office. The parent will then sign the child
out. Parents may not pick the child up directly
from the classroom under any
circumstances.
Walkers
Those Burton Street Students who
live in the neighborhood and walk home from school
each day are dropped off in front of the gym when
their class is escorted to the bus circle. After
the buses have left the circle, the walkers are
escorted to the front door for
dismissal.
Classroom
Visitations
Parents are welcome to
participate in their child's activities throughout
the school day. All visitors and volunteers are
required to sign-in at the front office. We request
the wearing of name tags in order to insure a safe
environment for all students. Other relatives and
friends are invited to visit the school only if
they are arriving from out of town, and are asked
to notify the school office prior to the visit.
School bus transportation is not available for out
of town guests.
Parking
The parking lot is available if
parents wish to drive children to school and walk
them into the building. DO NOT PARK IN THE LOADING
ZONE. If parents are just dropping off their
children, they may do so in front of the rear
entrance. There are a limited number of handicapped
parking spaces available so please reserve them for
those with the appropriate stickers.
Report
Cards
Report cards for grades one
through four are issued at regular 10 week
intervals throughout the school year. Report cards
for kindergarten classes are also issued four times
per year.
